Mammaw's Diary

My grandmother kept a diary for a five-year window of her life. I am posting the contents here for my cousins and other family members, as well as those other persons mentioned in her entries. Notes in italics are my annotations. She names a number of friends and church members that I did not know.

About Me

I have done family research and genealogy for over twenty years. I have a webpage, Leaves of the Tree, and another Blog of the same name which discusses some of the conflicts, corrections to established genealogies, brick walls, etc.

Comments are monitored so will not appear immediately. You can find my email address on my webpage or on my profile at the other Blog.
